Why The Dark Side Itself HATED the Death Star - Star Wars Explained

the destruction of the Death Star was the crowning achievement of Luke Skywalker's early life but reflection of this event later in Luke's life caused him to believe that the force itself had orchestrated the entire thing hello again and welcome back to our archives to say that the force had a hand in destroying the Death Star is an obvious statement however Luke actually states that the force was in Far More controlled than we initially thought during that Trench Run many Jedi of course speak of the will of the force and how it intervenes and influences them

as well as how a situation ultimately turns out however the will of the force is a powerful influence and one that directs the course of Galactic history and according to this account by Luke Skywalker we might even be able to deduce that it is against the will of the force for any super weapon to ever exist so come along with us today acolytes of the force as we open up yet another holocrat and explain exactly why the will of the force and the force itself despises super weapons first though if you haven't already join our

Luke says on the matter I may have been the one who fired that shot but the force itself wanted to purge the galaxy of the Death Star it was the embodiment of everything that's wrong with the dark side this statement comes as no surprise that the force itself would disapprove of something that could destroy billions if not trillions of lives in a blink of an eye and we find this constant invisible struggle between the light and the dark sides of the force very intriguing the two sides of the force seem to use the heroes and

denizens of the Galaxy as pieces in their war in the era of the Galactic Civil War the dark side was far more powerful and prevalent in the Galaxy that it had ever been and one might think that the Death Star itself was the champion of the dark side an energy bent on destruction and Chaos would certainly enjoy the token of a planet destroying super weapon well the force itself does not actually work this way and this is not entirely correct as even perhaps the dark side disapproved of the Death Star the force must always remain

in balance and the force was trying to correct itself in this era as Luke Skywalker was the rising threat to the Vader and his Emperor while the dark side likely was enjoying having its influence spread across the Galaxy the Death Star was a problem as were all other super weapons the dark side May champion death however it has its limits believe it or not there exists certain objects in the Galaxy that bring so much depth that even the dark side wants nothing to do with them for this we can look to the item known as

the dark staff in Legends continuity a weapon so powerful and so evil that the dark site itself tried and failed to destroy it what Luke says concerning the Death Star can also be said about other super weapons if you want proof then let's ask this question why is it that all other super weapons are always hidden or destroyed shortly after they are found Darth Revan and Malik got away with using it once or twice for militaristic purposes but as soon as Malik glassed the surface of Taurus with an orbital bombardment that became a problem and

the starforge was destroyed soon thereafter the silent Reaper had the ability to drain the life out of an entire Army and was used in the days of the old Sith Wars by The Sith ulik keldroma however it was lost to history and even though Darth Malgus searched for it endlessly he never found the great weapon however it would be rediscovered in a completely different spot at some point during the Clone Wars but then hidden away once again and then of course the next horrific super weapon to Grace the Galaxy the mass Shadow generator which requires

no introduction the mass Shadow generator was just Droid during the devastation of balacore 5 when lady Dominique tried to rebuild it however it was destroyed once again by the galactic Alliance leader before it could be used to devastate the Galaxy one final time these are but a small few of the super weapons that have existed and then were promptly and conveniently disposed of but what exactly does this mean into the relationship with the force and why would the dark side itself have an affront to Super weapons what is its hidden agenda the answer to this

conundrum lies in Four Deadly words those words are wounds in the force objects with the capability to wipe out life on such a colossal scale in so quick of an instant just cannot happen without any repercussion and the consequence of this is a wound in the force wounds in the force are a much more serious problem than people often give them credit for all life in the Galaxy was interconnected and when a significant number of lives are suddenly ended the force sustained a localized injury much like a sentient would lose a limb the epicenter of

the wound became a dark and terrible Place filled with the reverberating Echoes of pain Terror and suffering the blinking out of all life that had moments earlier existed there in harmony the dark side and the light side may be on opposite ends of the spectrum but they both still consist of one energy that energy is the force the dark side may be chaos but it is not death for death's sake and while wounds in the force May often cause the dark side to become more prevalent it doesn't mean that it isn't still a problem otherwise

the dark side wouldn't care about objects and people that wish to destroy everything like the dark staff valkorian or the null null all entities and beings that the dark side itself oppose one of the worst instances of wounds in the force being created was of course nihilus himself a Sith Lord born of the mass Shadow generator knightless was important because he was literally a walking wound in the force and it became a dark hole in him that threatened to consume his entire being nihilus joined the Sith not out of a desire for their cause but

out of a necessity so that he might use their knowledge to continuously feed his hunger the undying hunger within himself nihilus would drain life out of everything and anything he could until he grew strong enough in the force where he could have consumed entire worlds if he desired creating even more wounds wherever he went the concept of wounds is why no matter how powerful they are all those who have the desire to destroy will themselves be destroyed so if this is the case why then did the Sith continue to create these super weapons well we

have to look at how the Sith view the force itself the Sith are not necessarily Servants of the dark side they on the other hand believe that the dark side should be servants to their own will and their own power an analogy used before but the forces like a river the Jedi seek to move with it in Harmony in peace continuing the natural order of all things and yet the Sith seek to dominate this River use its energies and powers for their own Maleficent goals this is the rule and Paradox that comes as a result

of a forced wound and this is why the force cannot and will not allow super weapons to exist or be used for very long at all Luke Skywalker hit the nail on the head with his assessment he was the one pilot in the x-way he may have been the one to fire the shot but it was the force working through him that ultimately purged the galaxy of the Death Star and that my friends is why the force itself even the dark side hated the Death Star thank you as always so much for visiting our archives
